Hi All, I have a C1111-8P with SL-1100-8P-SEC & FL-VPERF-8P-200. The licenses were ordered as part of the router configuration and not as spares. As far as I know these licenses are not SMART licenses. Can I just disable smart licensing and the licenses will go back to normal without the need to register?

Thanks Leo. Can I disable smart licensing or will I have to both downgrade and disable smart licensing?

Smart licensing is mandatory unfortunately for any router running 16.10.x and up and any switch running 16.8.x and up.
I would use 16.9.4, this is a very stable release at the time of writing this with no smart licensing need.
Cisco is really screwing us over with the mandatory "smart" licensing, trying to get every last dollar out of the customer :-(
